Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Danijela Stojanovic; Zorica Bogdanovic; Luka Petrovic; Svetlana Mitrovic; Aleksandra Labus – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
In this paper we present an approach to employing pervasive technologies, such as IoT and mobile technologies, in secondary education. The goal is to develop a comprehensive methodology, IoT infrastructure and a mobile application that would enable secondary students to test their knowledge in interaction with a smart environment. We have…

Aqlan, Faisal; Zhao, Richard – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article discusses the use of manufacturing simulation games to study collaborative problem-solving skills in engineering students. The simulation represents the mass production paradigm in which large quantities of identical products are produced. Empirical data is collected from the simulation to evaluate the skills engineering…

Söderström, Tor; Lindgren, Carina; Sjöberg, David; Söderlund, Roger; Åström, Elisabeth; Widing, Mats – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2022
This article examines how a virtual case that prepares students for practical scenario training affects police students' performance in a practical scenario training. This study included 69 Swedish police students at the Basic Training Programme for Police Officers -- 35 assigned to a virtual police case (VCASE) and 34 assigned to a conventional…

Kyungbin Kwon; Thomas A. Brush; Keunjae Kim; Minhwi Seo – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study examined the effects of embodied learning experiences on students' understanding of computational thinking (CT) concepts and their ability to solve CT problems. In a mixed-reality learning environment, students mapped CT concepts, such as sequencing and loops, onto their bodily movements. These movements were later applied to robot…

Karen Jo Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a simulation with worked examples on the creation of episodic memories and the troubleshooting ability of maintenance technician students. Previous research shows that domain knowledge, conceptual knowledge, strategic knowledge, and episodic memories are all required to successfully…

Arican, Muhammet; Özçakir, Bilal – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The literature reports preservice teachers' overuse of proportionality when solving geometric similarity problems with nonproportional relationships. Changing this type of error is reported as difficult even after applying certain interventions. As a solution to this type of error, this study used augmented reality activities to facilitate the…

Shim, Hyoyoung; Lee, Hyangeun – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) technology is playing a crucial role in the changing paradigm of education. In many cases, however, VR technology is not being taught because of the lack of relevant educational content at middle and high school levels. This study investigates the effect of design education using VR-based coding on students' competence and…

Elkjaer, Morten; Thomsen, Lui A. – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2022
This article presents the theoretical considerations leading to the design and development of a digital experience for teaching linear equations using a modified balance model for equation solving. We modified the balance to alter physics behaviour in a virtual reality (VR) experience, to strengthen students' schemes for solving linear equations…

Solving real-life problems through mathematical modeling is one of the aims of modern mathematics curricula. For this reason, prospective mathematics teachers need to acquire modeling skills and use these skills in learning environments in terms of creating rich learning environments. With this study, it is aimed to examine the reflections of…

Merve Aydin; Ünal Çakiroglu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Students experience higher-order thinking skills by finding ways to solve the problem, debugging errors while applying the solution, and testing the solution in programming. However, the inability to create schemas that will characterise programming structures is one of the difficulties during this process. Objectives: This study aimed…

Holly M. Long; Emily C. Bouck; Carrie O'Reilly – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2024
Providing high-quality services to students with disabilities in rural settings can be challenging, as rural schools often lack resources both in and out of the classroom. One potential option to provide high-quality mathematics instruction to students with disabilities in rural areas is using virtual manipulatives and online instruction. In this…
